Teaching for Trades | Nature

ABSTRACT DURING the last ten years there has been a marked and significant increase in the amount of attention given in Britain to vocational training. This can be partly accounted for by

the introduction of the Ministry of Labour and National Service “Training Within Industry’ scheme during the War to meet the labour demands of new and rapidly expanding factories. As a

basis, certain elementary rules were prescribed for training foremen and other supervisors, and these were grouped into courses known as ”Job Instruction", “Job Methods’ and ”Job

Relations". The courses were based on well-known principles in educational psychology and, although necessarily limited in application, have met with a considerable amount of success.
